Re: Golden Kamuy

Even if some stuff turns me a bit off, like the excessive hunting, you can instantly tell this manga is different. It is so weirdly engaging and, in a sense, cinematographic?

I know I prefer the chaos ensued by the 4 way battle between the 7th division, the ex-shinsengumi, Sugimoto + Asirpa and the batshit crazy escaped convicts in the search for gold over the tons of Ainu lore (which is admitedly greatly informative and appreciated) and overkill hunting scenes, but overall this manga is a delicacy.

This is elite stuff on every level. Art, writing, lore, action. . .really glad I came upon it.

Re: Golden Kamuy

For as brutal as this manga can be, the comedy is pretty on-point as well. Not only that, but the way that the author can weave fights and humor together without them seeming like "manga moments" is really impressive.

I wonder how long this will run (and how long until it gets an anime)?

Re: Golden Kamuy

So i started the serie because of the good review and the fast recent releases. I must say i had some prejudice based on the plot resume.
It is funny that Dungeon Mechi has similar praise at the same time because they have some common points in the way they mix cooking and adventure ; comedy and action. Though this one is much more mature and even have some gore pages (thankfully it i B&W)
I also hope its succes in Japan helps the Ainou culture and people.

Re: Golden Kamuy

Here's what I think about Shiraishi's deal

Shiraishi is just upset he got called useless a while back

he wanted to prove his worth by taking out one of the other treasure hunters but he failed & got captured by them so he agreed to play the double agent role for them while actually keeping track on what they're doing

he didn't tell Sugimoto & Asirpa about it because he knows they would stop him
